Report: Matt Taven's ROH Contract Expires At The End Of September

Mike Johnson at PWInsider reports that Matt Taven's contract with Ring of Honor is set to expire at the end of September. The two sides have yet to come to a new agreement. Taven is the current ROH World Champion, having won the title in a triple threat ladder match against Jay Lethal and Marty Scurll at ROH-NJPW G1 Supercard in April.

The leader of The Kingdom is set to represent ROH in CMLL's Grand Prix Tournament, which is scheduled for Friday, Aug. 30. Taven is also scheduled to take part in the upcoming ROH-CMLL Global Wars Espectacular tour, which runs from Sept. 6 through Sept. 8. ROH's next big event is Death Before Dishonor on Sept. 27. Taven is not currently booked for the show, but Rush and Jeff Cobb are both in line for ROH World Title shots.

Taven has been with the promotion on a full-time basis since 2010 and is a Grand Slam and Triple Crown Champion, having held the ROH World Title, TV Title, Tag Team Titles, and Six-Man Tag Team Titles.
